Project Overview

The Kibitz Room was designed to serve as a full-service delicatessen, bakery, and catering destination within an active retail environment. The client’s primary goals were to create a functional, welcoming interior that supported food preparation, service flow, and customer experience, while coordinating construction within a shopping center setting.

• Project Location: King of Prussia
• Building Type: Shopping center retail space
• Client Type: Restaurant / Bakery / Catering
• Delivery Method: Construction management services

From pre construction planning through final turnover, our team provided the structure and oversight needed to move the project efficiently from concept to completion.

Scope of Work

As General Contractor, we managed the full interior fit out of the space, coordinating all trades required to transform an existing retail shell into a fully operational restaurant and bakery. The scope of work focused on precision, sequencing, and adherence to food service requirements.

Key components of the project included:

• Interior build-out and space configuration
• Coordination of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades
• Installation of finishes suited for a high-traffic restaurant environment
• Construction management oversight and scheduling
• Quality control and final inspections

This project reflects our capabilities as Tenant Fit Out Contractors supporting restaurant and retail clients through complex interior renovations.

Construction Management Approach

Restaurant projects benefit from early planning and accurate conceptual estimates to control construction costs and avoid schedule delays. Our construction management service emphasized clear communication, realistic scheduling, and proactive coordination among all trades involved.

By applying proven processes used across a wide range of construction services, we ensured work progressed efficiently while meeting the operational needs of a combined delicatessen, bakery, and catering facility. Detailed scheduling and trade coordination allowed for smooth installation of systems critical to daily restaurant operations.

Challenges and Solutions

Interior restaurant fit outs within shopping centers present unique challenges, including coordination with property management, logistical constraints, and tight sequencing requirements. Ensuring that each phase of work aligned with inspection requirements and tenant standards was essential.

We addressed these challenges by:

• Establishing clear work sequences for all trades
• Coordinating deliveries and work hours with shopping center management
• Maintaining consistent communication with the client and design team
• Monitoring progress closely to resolve issues before they affected the schedule

This approach is consistent with best practices used in restaurant remodeling and retail construction projects where efficiency and coordination are critical.

Results and Outcome

The completed interior fit out delivered a functional, well-organized restaurant and bakery space ready to support daily operations and customer service. The finished environment reflects quality craftsmanship, efficient layout, and attention to detail appropriate for a high-use food service setting.

Project outcomes included:

• Coordinated execution of all interior trades
• High-quality finishes and durable construction
• Smooth transition from construction to operational setup
• A completed space aligned with the client’s vision and service needs

The project demonstrates the value of experienced construction management in delivering successful restaurant environments.
